A game and method for playing same is based on a deck of cards, each card
of which uses an icon to represent one element of a transcendental set of
elements. Preferably there are three elements in the transcendental set
of elements, each one having a value higher than that of one other
element of said set and having a value lower than that of the remaining
element. Each card also includes a key or transcendental set rule, or
portion thereof, so that the players are reminded of which element beats
which other element, and an additional statement that relates to the
element and provides a fact, tip or recommendation of interest to the
player. Several different card games can be played with the deck,
including the well-known rock-paper-scissor type of game played
traditionally with hand signals, but here with cards.
